Ars Technicast Experimental #2: Rob Reid and George Church, 2 of 3
We begin today’s installment with a discussion of the strengths and shortcomings of the CRISPR gene-editing technique, which George co-invented.

George discusses this, as well a wish list of improvements that he hopes its successors will bring.
